Oops. What version last passed the tests? Did you check that it was not an environment change? And if not, bissect to the offending patch?
I'm pretty sure it *is* an environment change. Just need to track it down. I'll update everything and try again.
Occurs to me that the LISP-INVOCATION library would be a good thing to add if we can make the git submodules thing work out.
I looked at a few pages criticizing git submodules, but it looks like for the present use case, it is actually ideal: 1- the dependencies don't change too often. 2- we prefer them pinned at a given known-working version rather than tracking the latest. 3- we won't branch them. 4- we can check out and work on asdf.git without having to checkout the submodules.
If point 4 holds, we can actually use it on the main asdf repository itself, rather than create a separate git repository for it.
And yes, lisp-invocation is great, and is used by our program-op tests and by the minimakefile branch.
